3-Night/4-Cooking Class Program
Discover a cooking vacation with 4 hands-On Cooking Lessons, delicious meals, and a charming countryside villa for the perfect culinary escape!
The Italian Cooking Vacation Package invites you to experience the authentic flavors and relaxed rhythm of life in the Veneto countryside, just an hour from Venice. Surrounded by orchards, gardens, and open fields, Tenuta Castel Venezze is the perfect setting to immerse yourself in traditional Italian cuisine and rural charm.
Over three nights and four hands-on cooking classes, you’ll cook alongside Chef Stefano, learning authentic recipes handed down through generations — from fresh handmade pasta to risotto and classic Italian desserts. Each class ends with a shared meal, where guests sit together to enjoy the dishes they’ve prepared.
Between lessons, there’s plenty of time to relax by the pool, stroll through the gardens, or explore nearby villages. Optional afternoon excursions can also be arranged on request.
Your stay includes full-board accommodation in comfortable double rooms with private bathrooms, and all meals are prepared using fresh, seasonal ingredients from our own garden — fruits, vegetables, tomatoes, and grains that represent the heart of our cooking philosophy.
Join us for a warm, authentic Italian experience where good food, good company, and countryside serenity come together in perfect harmony.
- Day 1 (Wednesday): Arrive around 12:30 PM and settle in at the villa. At 4:00 PM, join your first hands-on cooking class and start discovering the flavors of traditional Italian cuisine.
In the evening, enjoy a delicious welcome dinner at our cozy restaurant, Locanda Venezze, to kick off your Italian adventure! - Day 2 (Thursday): After a hearty breakfast, you’ll roll up your sleeves for your first hands-on cooking class.

After lunch, take some time to relax or join an optional half-day tour in the area.
